ScalA’17: 8th Workshop on Latest Advances in
Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the
SC17: The International Conference on High Performance
Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC
November 13, 2017, Denver, CO, USA
<http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2017>
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key
science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale
systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale
machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale
up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems
require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have
very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and
have no synchronization points.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be
fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases
with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is
needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous
compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific
algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance.
This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as
co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel
mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and
resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC
systems.

10th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience)
in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids
<http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2017>
in conjunction with
the 23rd International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed
Computing (Euro-Par), Santiago de Compostela, Spain,
August 28 - September 1, 2017
<http://europar2017.usc.es>
Overview:
Resilience is a critical challenge as high performance computing (HPC)
systems continue to increase component counts, individual component
reliability decreases (such as due to shrinking process technology and
near-threshold voltage (NTV) operation), and software complexity increases.
Application correctness and execution efficiency, in spite of frequent
faults, errors, and failures, is essential to ensure the success of the
extreme-scale HPC systems, cluster computing environments, Grid computing
infrastructures, and Cloud computing services.
While a fault (e.g., a bug or stuck bit) is the cause of an error, its
manifestation as a state change is considered an error (e.g., a bad value
or incorrect execution), and the transition to an incorrect service is
observed as a failure (e.g., an application abort or system crash). A
failure in a computing system is typically observed through an application
abort or a full/partial service or system outage. A detectable correctable
error is often transparently handled by hardware, such as a single bit flip
in memory that is protected with single-error correction double-error
detection (SECDED) error correcting code (ECC). A detectable uncorrectable
error (DUE) typically results in a failure, such as multiple bit flips in
the same addressable word that escape SECDED ECC correction, but not
detection, and ultimately cause an application abort. An undetectable error
(UE) may result in silent data corruption (SDC), e.g., an incorrect
application output. There are many other types of hardware and software
faults, errors, and failures in computing systems.
Resilience for HPC systems encompasses a wide spectrum of fundamental and
applied research and development, including theoretical foundations, fault
detection and prediction, monitoring and control, end-to-end data integrity,
enabling infrastructure, and resilient solvers and algorithm-based fault
tolerance. This workshop brings together experts in the community to further
research and development in HPC resilience and to facilitate exchanges
across the computational paradigms of extreme-scale HPC, cluster computing,
Grid computing, and Cloud computing.
Submission Guidelines:
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in English in PDF
format. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and
BETWEEN 10 AND 12 PAGES, including figures, tables and references, using
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format at
<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>. Papers with
less than 10 or more than 12 pages will not be accepted due to publisher
guidelines. Submissions should include abstract, key words and the e-mail
address of the corresponding author. Papers not conforming to these
guidelines may be returned without review. All manuscripts will be reviewed
and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the
conference attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished
research that is not currently under review for any other conference or
journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without
review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Incorporating new advancements of Information Technology (IT) in general and High Performance Computing (HPC) in particular in the domain of Life Sciences and Biomedical Research continues to receive tremendous attention of researchers, biomedical institutions and the rest of the biomedical community. Although medical instruments have benefited a great deal from the technological advances of the couple of decades, the impact of integrating IT advancements in addressing critical problems in biomedical research remains limited and the process of penetrating IT tools in the medical profession continues to be a very challenging problem. For example, the use of electronic medical records and Hospital Information Systems in improving health care remains fragmented. Similarly, the use of advanced computational tools seamlessly in the biomedical research cycle continues to be minimal.
Due to the computational intensive problems in life sciences, the marriage between the Bioinformatics domain and high performance computing is critical to the advancement of Biosciences. In addition, the problems in this domain tend to be highly parallelizable and deal with large datasets, hence using HPC is a natural fit. The Bioinformatics domain is rich in applications that require extracting useful information from very large and continuously growing sequence of databases. Most methods used for analyzing DNA/Protein sequences are known to be computationally intensive, providing motivation for the use of powerful computational systems with high throughput characteristics.
Moreover, high-throughput wet lab platforms such as next generation sequencing, microarray and mass spectrometry, are producing a huge amount of experimental "omics" data. The increasing availability of omics data poses new challenges to bioinformatics applications that need to face in a semi-automatic way an overwhelming availability of raw data. Main challenges regard: 1) the efficient storage, retrieval and integration of experimental data; 2) their efficient and high-throughput preprocessing and analysis; 3) the building of reproducible "in silico" experiments; 4) the integration of analysis results with pre-existing knowledge usually stored into ontologies.
As the storage, preprocessing and analysis of raw experimental data is becoming the main bottleneck of the analysis pipeline, parallel computing is playing an important role in all steps of the life sciences research pipeline, from raw data management and processing, to data integration and analysis, and to data exploration and visualization. Moreover, Cloud Computing is becoming the key technology to hide the complexity of computing infrastructures, to reduce the cost of the data analysis task, and especially to change the overall business model of biomedical research and health provision.
Considering the complex analysis pipeline of the biomedical research, the bottleneck is more and more moving toward the storage, integration, and analysis of experimental data, as well as their correlation and integration with publicly available data banks In such a scenario, large-scale distributed databases and parallel bioinformatics tools are key tools for organizing and exploring biological and biomedical data with the aim to discover new knowledge in biology and medicine.
In the current Information age, further progress of Medical Sciences requires successful integration with Computational and Information Sciences. The workshop attempts to attract innovative ways of how such integration can be achieved via Bioinformatics and Biomedical Informatics research, particularly in taking advantage of the new advancements in HPC systems. The focus of data analysis and data mining tools in biomedical research highlights the current state of research in the key biomedical research areas such as bioinformatics, medical informatics and biomedical imaging. Addressing performance concerns in managing and accessing medical data, while facilitating the ability to integrate and correlate different biomedical databases remains an outstanding problem in biomedical research. The amount of available biomedical data continues to grow in an exponential rate; however, the impact of utilizing such resources remains minimal. The development of innovative tools in HPC environments to integrate, analyze and mine such data sources is a key step towards achieving large impact levels.
The workshop focuses on topics related to the utilization of HPC systems and new models of parallel computing and cloud computing in problems related to Biomedical Informatics and Life Sciences, along with the use of data integration and data mining tools to support biomedical research and Health Care.

Special session - Hybrid Life: Approaches to integrate biological, artificial and cognitive systems
https://sites.google.com/view/hybrid-life/ <https://sites.google.com/view/hybrid-life/>
2018 Artificial Life conference (ALife)
Tokyo, JAPAN, 23-27 July 2018 - http://2018.alife.org/ <http://2018.alife.org/>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION:
The main focus of ALife research is the study of natural systems with the goal of understanding what life is. More concretely, ALife defines ways to investigate processes that contribute to the formation and proliferation of living organisms. In this session we focus on three common approaches to tackle this investigation, proposing ways to integrate, extend and possibly improve them. More specifically we refer to: 1) the formalisation of the necessary properties for the definition of life, 2) the implementation of artificial agents, and 3) the study of the relation between life and cognition.
For this special session we propose to start from these well-established Alife methodologies, and extend them through:
a unified formal language for the description and modelling of living, as well as artificial and cognitive systems, e.g. control theory, Bayesian inference, dynamical systems theory, etc.,
the exploration of biological creatures enhanced by artificial systems (or artificial systems augmented with organic parts) in order to investigate the boundaries between living and nonliving organisms, and
the evaluation of coupled biological-artificial systems that could shed light on the importance of interactions among systems for the study of living and cognitive organisms.
This special sessions aims to invite contributions from the fields of psychology, computational neuroscience, HCI, theoretical biology, artificial intelligence, robotics and cognitive science to discuss current research on the formalisation, combination and interaction of artificial/living/cognitive systems from theoretical, modelling and implementational perspectives.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
Formalisation of life and cognition (e.g. dynamical systems theory, stochastic optimal control, Bayesian inference, etc.)
Cognitive robotics
Autopoiesis
Life-mind continuity thesis
Systems biology
Origins-of-life theories with relationships to artificial and cognitive systems
Animal-robot interaction
Bio-inspired robotics
Bio-integrated robotics
Human-machine interaction
Augmented cognition
Sensory substitution
Interactive evolutionary computation
Artificial perception

Special Session on Virtualization in High Performance Computing
(VHPC 2018)
CALL FOR PAPERS & PARTICIPATION
As part of
The 16th International Conference on High Performance Computing &
Simulation (HPCS 2018)http://hpcs2018.cisedu.info/ or
http://cisedu.us/rp/hpcs18
July 16 – 20, 2018
Orléans, France
Paper Submission Deadline: March 12, 2018
Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters
PURPOSE and SCOPE
Virtualization has become the foundation of cloud computing. The scale
of cloud computing data centers is similar to the supercomputers used
in High Performance Computing. Both involve millions of CPU cores,
tens of thousands of accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs connected by high
speed interconnects and different connection topologies. Studies have
shown that the GPU utilization in HPC is often at 50%. Virtualization

The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018)
http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of The 18th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2018), http://www.iccsa.org
July 2 - 5 2018, Melbourne, Australia
Submission Deadline: March 8, 2018
SPECIAL ISSUE
Selected extended versions of workshop papers will be invited to a Special Issue to appear in the Algorithms journal (see http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…)
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics.
The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP
- Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators
- Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA
- Distributed data mining algorithms
- Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications
- Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining
- Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware

Handbook of Vascular Biometrics (1st edition) - Call for Chapters
=================================================================
Editors
Andreas Uhl, Christoph Busch, Sébastien Marcel and Raymond Veldhuis
Biometrics is a tremendously active research field including
developments in sensing technology,
signal and image processing, information security, and applied machine
learning, and strong links
with other research areas such as forensic science, human-computer
interaction, and systems engineering.
In the last decade, and especially in the last few years, vascular
biometrics have become established
as important biometrics modalities.
This Handbook provides the first comprehensive presentation of the
state-of-the-art in biometrics exploiting the outlay of human blood
vessels
for biometric recognition, i.e. vascular biometrics, including finger
vein
recognition, hand/palm vein recognition, retina recognition, and sclera
recognition. After an introductory chapter composed by one of the
editors
which will summarize the state of the art and availability of commercial
systems and open datasets / open source software, individual chapters
will
be dedicated to specific aspects of one of the considered biometric
modalities including questions of usability, security, and privacy.
Besides chapters of purely academic nature, the handbook will contain
chapters contributed by major industrial manufacturers.
This first Edition of the Handbook of Vascular Biometrics is now planned
for publication in the Springer
Advances in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition series in 2019. The
editorial team is soliciting
chapter contributions from members of the biometrics, pattern
recognition and machine learning research
communities. Contributions from other communities which cover aspects
strongly related to vascular
biometrics are also welcome, e.g., information security, human-computer
interaction, and systems engineering.
Targeted contents include:
• Fingervein, Handvein, Retina, and Sclera-based Recognition Systems
• Less established vascular recognition schemes
• Sensor-related developments in these areas
• Security- and Privacy issues in these areas, e.g. template protection
schemes, presentation attack detection
• Release of new public datasets and corresponding results
• Robustness and usability aspects
Originality
===========
Chapter contributions are expected to present novel content as compared
to earlier published work
(a percentage of 25-30% novel content as compared to earlier published
work is expected).
Reports of significant real-world applications of vascular biometric
systems are also welcome.
Reproducible Research - Standard Compliance
===========================================
The Handbook of Vascular Biometrics will have a focus on reproducible
research (RR). All contributions
are required to meet the following conditions:
• experiments should relate to publicly available datasets as a first
requirement for RR;
• system scores generated with proposed methods should be openly
available as a second requirement for RR.
Additionally, the sharing of plots or performance figures should align
with the international standard ISO/IEC 19795-1.
Moreover open source code of the proposed methods and detailed
instructions to reproduce the experiments is strongly encouraged.
We are seeking a harmonized appearance of all chapters and thus invite
authors to align their manuscripts
with the Harmonized Biometric Vocabulary, as published in the
international standard ISO/IEC 2382-37:
http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c066693_ISO_IEC_23…
